Immigration agents raided 77 Northern California businesses earlier this week. The raids took place throughout the Bay Area and Sacramento region on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Businesses were given three days advance notice of the raids and employees were asked to provide proof of their legal work status. According to officials, no arrests were made in the raids. ICE spokesperson James Schwab said the raids were "focused on protecting jobs for U.S. citizens and others who are lawfully employed, eliminating unfair competitive advantages for companies that hire an illegal workforce, and strengthening public safety and national security.” Some local experts believe the raids are retaliation for California's unwillingness to cooperate with federal immigration officials following President Donald Trump's crackdown on illegal immigration. - SFGATE

COMMUNITY NEWS: BERKELEY

The family of University of California, Berkeley graduate Bertram Hiscock has filed a lawsuit after Hiscock suffered multiple mental health crises and took his own life in the Yuba County Jail on January 29, 2017. Locked in a rubber “safety” cell following a mental health crisis in December of 2016, Hiscock attempted suicide a number of times before eventually choking on his own waste as a result of “active psychosis” and “chronic bipolar affective disorder.” Hiscock's family alleges that the jail was negligent and violated his constitutional right to appropriate health care. “They put him in a horrific rubber room and basically just left him there,” said Lori Rifkin, the family's attorney. The Yuba County sheriff’s office declined to comment on the lawsuit.
